A lot of the time men are expected to provide, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s the only one working but ofc it can, but they are expected to make more money & be the main financial provider of the house. With how inflation has gone in the past up until now it makes it a bit harder for someone making average & even slightly above average salary to do their more expensive hobbies that they’d like to enjoy. salaries have only on average 2x’d & inflation trumps that by a bit on housing at least it has 10x’d & that alone is all that’s really needed to shift middle class people to lower class people, etc etc.

    I can't describe the level of endorphins this video dumps into my brain. I recently sleuthed out my own semi-major engine issue and had my hypothesis be proved right, and I was stupid happy. I'm glad I was away from customers when I got the call that it ran. Nolan's energy was very much channeled through me when I knew all the pistons were firing and happy.

    No one wrenched too hard on that exhaust bolt. From working at Chevy I can tell you broken exhaust bolts on the trucks are pretty normal.
    Also, those 0-60 times make me appreciate my E46 M3 more and more. 333hp and it does it quicker. I would like to see the dyno graphs for the Z cars though. I feel like that truck engine might have a longer stroke or something that helps it make more torque. Possible the lesser horsepower also helps it to be more manageable.

    I was literally just thinking we need more hi-low and money pit! Best way to start the weekend. Watching these shows has really got me excited to work on my own car again. Classic multi year build 😅

    I’m impressed that the “low car” was within 38 whp of the “high car…” especially considering the difference in budget.
